This week we sit down with actor Jeff Kober to learn the secrets of not just life… but also to surviving in the entertainment industry. And while we decide which celebrities we plan to pretend to have a relationship with, we also bring up… La La Land, China Beach, Devon Sawa, Taserface, Tank Girl, dark endings, that was my target audience, The First Power, Debra Granik, Beauty Mark, James Remar threw a bottle at my frickin’ face, I followed a woman to California, Sully, everything happened for the reason… the way it was supposed to, Catherine Curtin, Billings, Montana, it’s all perspective, Chris Sullivan, I was the leader of a cult, Corey Haim, my first, last and only office job, Richard Ramirez, coming through the mask, perfectly awkward, Lori Petty, it was entirely based on being a dog and slightly damaged, The Walking Dead, not as therapy but as expression, Bruce Greenwood, the guy who had seen too much, Crazy Stupid Love, Auden Thornton, Hereditary, I really went into the darkness of that… and it took me a while to come back out of it, working with Clint Eastwood, a hot piece of man meat, no chemistry, if I kill enough of them… my fear will go away, he had his mom with him the whole time, really really deep feelings and Chuck either kicks my ass or kills me.

“Where I came from… actors were different than people… so I didn’t think that I could… it never even occur to me.”
